A belated thanks to Tore, Lisnaholic, skaltezon, Phantom, and Zaqarbal for your harp song contributions.

I especially liked "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles because I hadn't recalled that the song includes harp. I also liked the exotic-sounding harp and Catalan vocal piece by Arianna Savall. Its lyrics seemed profound, based on what I understood of the German translation:

Today I heard and enjoyed a harp-containing piece in the soundtrack of the BBC's miniseries "North and South," which a friend recommended to me, thinking (correctly) that I'd like it:

"Northbound Train" by Martin Phipps,
from the soundtrack of the BBC's "North and South"

The placid harp made the somber yet sweet song memorable to me. I especially like the moment when the song builds in speed and energy around 1:50 as it shifts through major chords and then swells with the entry of the strings, warming toward its happy resolution
